Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Noise from Kennedy Park — The lively park across the street can be audible, especially in rooms facing it. Some guests found this a minor disturbance.
- Thin walls and shared shower privacy — A few guests noted that walls are thin and some shared showers lack doors, which could affect light sleepers or those preferring more privacy.
- No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, so travelers with animals will need to make other arrangements.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 13:00 and 23:59, which may be restrictive for late-night arrivals without prior coordination.
